This talk is part of the Experimenter Curators’ Hub, which is an annual platform to discuss curatorial practices by some of the leading curators from all over the world. Through the years almost 80 leading curators from across the world have attended the Experimenter Curators’ Hub and it has emerged as a crucial and much anticipated event on the arts calendar in the region. It is an important programme which provides an opportunity to discuss, debate and present the most contemporary thought behind curating exhibitions in today's context. Curatorial practice in the region and globally is at a crucial juncture and it is important to talk about its current state and future developments, especially through conversations between curators who are pushing the boundaries of contemporary art. The Hub also acts as a platform for exchange of thoughts, views & possibilities of collaborations between the curators, between public and private organizations and the various institutional frameworks that coexist in the art world. Ten curators from differing practices are invited to be presenters at the panel and the Hub is spread over 3 days. The Experimenter Curator’s Hub 2019 is scheduled to be presented from 28 November to 30 November 2019.
